in financial terms how does the bush administration original estimate compare with the final bill? >> well, the administration was only counting on a few months of occupation and a very short war. their 30 to $50 billion to 50 to $60 billion or up to 100 to $200 billion were very wrong. the number that you keep talking about is quite low too. if you would like i'll explain why that is. >> michael: yes, please do. >> okay, so the number you're giving, $800 billion is the dod that is meant gone spending special appropriations for the war and the state department appropriations for iraq. but you have to add to that the other costs of the war that we've already paid. for example the va has already begun treating veterans who have returned from the war. they get medical and disability. there is a growth in homeland security spending that occurs because if you remember the alerts went up when we went to war, and in some cases stayed up for some time. there was increase need for homeland security. then there were interest costs that we already accrued for the money borrowed to pay for the
